NO BOYCOTT ORDERED
THE SITUATION AT HOMESTEAD
DOESN'T WARRANT ONE.
The Federation of I.abor Say H tlie Amount
of Work Turned Out at Homcntead |
Would Not Justify a Boycott— I The Or
der Will Be Given When It Is Needed.
PITTSBURO, Aug. IS —The executive com
mittee of the American Federation of Labor
spent a number of hours in conference with
the Homestead advisory committee and the
officials of the Amalgamated association.
After the meeting President Gompers gave
out the following statement:
"After a thorough investigation and re
view of the situation in Homestead and the
othor Carnegie mills, and after a conference
with President Wiehe and other officials of
the Amalgamated association, and con
sultation with the advisory board of the j
Homestead men, the executive council of
the American Federation of Labor do not
deem it necessary at present to issue any
boycott on the Carnegie products for these
"The amount of work now turned out in
the Carnegie mills is of such a trilling, in
consequential character it would be sheer
waste of effort to issue a boycott.
"Added to this the quality and small
amount of the product turned out is so in
ferior it is hardly marketable and will ro
sult in a greater loss of trade to the Car
negios than would come from any boycott
we might now impose. In fact the unmar
ketable character and small amount of work
done is an efficient boycott against the Car
negie company itself.
"Should it be necessary to levy a general
order in the future to let Carnegie products
alone we will not hesitate to do so, notwith
standing the threats of the firm to use the
conspiracy laws agaiust us. Our declining to
issue a boycott at this time does not prevent
all sympathizers with the struggling toilers
from refusing to use structural iron, stoel
or nails and other products of the Carnegie
mills wherever they locally feel inclined to
do so, and at the same time every dollar of
financial aid which can be raised should be
given freely to help this struggle of brawn
and brain, muscle and heart against the cold
blooded, grasping avarice of well protected
manufacturers."
AMALGAMATED SCALE SIGNED.
Forty Thousand Iron and Stoel Men Will
Now Resume Work.
PITTSBURO, Aug. 11. —The Pittsburg man
ufacturers have signed the Amalgamated
association scale in a body. This means
that 40,000 iron workers will return to work
as union men. It saves the association from
the wreck which has threatened it ever
since the Homestead trouble. There wore
two conferences between the manufacturers
and tho men.
At first both masters and men were
obstinate. Tho employers insisted 011 heavy
reductions, and declared they would all
start as nonunion mills unless tho men
agreed at once. On the other hand the
men presented the vote of the 300 Amalga
mated lodges throughout the country, which
vote was decidedly opposed to arbitration.
Tho committee of men also refused to agree
to a reduction.
At the second meeting both sides were in
better humor. The employers declared
they must start tho mills and the men ac
knowledged that they wanted work. On
ithis basis a compromise was soon effected.
Both sides were willing to make conces
sions and both sides made them, though
the men seem to have tho best of it.
The manufacturers conceded what the
men greatly desired—that tho basis of pud
dling remain at $5.50 per ton—whilo the
men agreed to a 10 per cent, reduction in
all finishing departments. In the bar and
guide mills, with the exception of tho plate
and rolling mills, the men also agreed to
twelve cents per ton loss than lust yoar.
Heating in rolling mills is 10 cont. lower.
This agreement affects fourteen largo
mills in the Pittsburg district alone, em
ploying 40,000 men. Many of these mills
have put in improved machinery by which,
as the men are paid by the output, wages
will be even larger than under the last
scale, which was adopted in 1889. The Car
negie mills will be the only important non
union establishments in the district.

RIOTING AT BUFFALO.
The Switchmen's Strike Spreading aiul
the Troops Ordered Out.
BUFFALO, Aug. 17.—The Central men all
struck out of sympathy with tho striking
switchmen on the Lohigh Valley and Erie
roads. The Central's men had made a de
mand for ten hours' daily work and the
adoption of the Chicago scale. Being re
fused, they abandoned their trains and
joined the ranks of their brethren who are
now battling against the Lehigh and Erie.
It is expected that the West Shore switch
men will unite with the Central strikers.
This would mean a tieup on all the lines
terminating here and the desertion from
their posts of at least 2,000 men. This ac
tion was brought about by an order from
Grand Master Sweeney, of the Switchmen's
brotherhood.
Trains were moved from the Lehigh Val
ley yards with a soldier armed with a Win
chester and with thirty-eight rounds of
cartridges in his belt stationed on the plat
form of each car.
There were one or two Rlight differences
between the reckless strikers and the sol
diers. One band of fellows stoned the
militia from a bridgo, but were quickly
driven off. Another crowd of angry men
tried to force their way into tho Lehigh
yards. One of them drew a revolver. Tin
guard gave the alarm and two policemen
arrested tho striker. He resisted and was
clubbed. His friends started tho rumor
that he died from the beating, but this
could not be verified. Two cars were set on
fire in the yards while the militia guarded
all entrances.
Vice President Webb, of the Vunderbilt
system, was on the ground to investigate
the situation.
Recruits are arriving to take the places.of
the strikers. Fifty nonunion men were put
to work in tho yards under military protec
tion and others are held outside guarded by
the troops.
Members of the state board of arbitration
have arrived and are studying the situation
preparatory to attempting to settle the dif
ferences between the strikers and the com
panies.
News has been received that Governor
Flower is on his way to Albany. More
troops have been ordered to make ready to
march to this city at a moment's notice.
It is feared by cool headed citizens who
have viewed tho situation that a general
fight may be expected betweon the strikers
and the troops at any moment.
They Disobeyed Orders.
NEWARK, N J., Aug. 17.—Five officers of

UZZIE BORDEN ARRESTED.
Sho Is Charged with the Murder of Ilor
Father ami Mother.
I FALL RIVER, Mass., Aug. 13.—The ax
with which Mrs. Borden wus killed has boeu
; found. That is the sensation of the day in
the mysterious doublo murder ease. The
formal commitment of Miss Lizzie as the
! assassin of her father and stepmother ranks
I second in interest to the discovery of the
j murderous weapon.
It did not leak out till now that one of the
I four hatchets found in the cellar of the Bor
den homestead soon after the murdor was
: the instrument with which the butchery
I was committed. Under the microscope it
I shows many spots of human blood. Tlint
| it was carefully washed there is no doubt,
I for a bucket of water was found near it,
l and also three new towels, partially covered
j with blood. The water had been splashed
I over the cellar floor. The weapon also
showed some long hairs, which matched
, those in Mrs. Borden's head,
j When court was opened Lizzie Borden
j came in on the arm of Rev. A. E. Buck, the
white haired missionary of Central church.
She wore a tailor made gown of dark blue
and a black hat trimmed with black polka
, dot crape. She had no veil. She was more
! self possessed than at any previous time,
and her steellike and almost painful sever
ity of countenance betrayed no emotion.
She was careless and indifferent to her sur
| roundings and whispered leisurely to her
counsel, A. J. Jennings. The latter filed a
motion to dismiss the complaint upon the
grounds that the judge, being the same per
son who presided at the inquest, was not
competent to p.-iss an unbiased opinion at
the preliminary trial; further, that the in
quest was still in session.
I District Attorney Knowltou offered a de
murrer, which was sustained, and then he
asked that the prisoner bo called upon to
j make her plea to the complaint. Her law
{ yer offered a plea of not guilty, but the
I judge would not accept it, and ordered tho
I clerk to proceed with the usual custom of
j tho court. The clerk asked Lizzie to stand
| up and answer to tho charge of murdor.
j Sho did so in a firm toueof voice and with
Btress upon tho "not."
Then Lizzie Borden was ordered to be
j committod without bond to await the trial.
I Sho arose, and with ever faithful Minister
I Buck passed out under police guard. A
| closed carriage conveyod her and her sister
Emma to the depot, where a traiu was
j boarded for Taunton.

committee appointed to see property
owners on south side of Walnut street
from Pine to Washington, stated that he
saw Mrs. Farley and others and they
were satisfied to give the ground neces
sary for a sidewalk, on the terms pro

The secretary was ordered to notify
